The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making` part vof -the same.

To all persons tovwhomy these presents may come:

Be it known that we, GEORGE A. BLAKE and WILLIAM B. TAYLOR, of Calais, of the county of lVashington and State of Maine, have made a new and useful Invention, having reference to Stoves for Heatingl Apartments; and dohereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawing, of which- Figure l is an end elevation ofthe door end of the stove.- n

Figure 2, a top view.

Figure 3, a rear elevation.`

i Figure 4, a transverse sectionof such stove.

The stove-body A, in its general form, is like that of the common sheet-iron air-tight stove, it being provided with a door, a,`at one end, having a register or one or more valves, b b, in or applied to it.

The discharge-Hue of the stove is shown at c.

In carrying ont our invention, we extend up through the stove-body, and from top to bottom of it, and di rectly in front of the escape-flue, a pipe or conduit, O, furnished with an elbow,l D, to lead concentricallyinto the escape-Hue o, and just below the elbow we provide the pipe C with two holes, l cl, arranged in it, as shown in Figure 5, which is a rear elevation of such pipe'. One of such holes is also shown in iig. 4.

The air-duct C is to be open at each end; it also opens through the top and bottom of the stove.

It is designed to heat, by means of the fuel and flame in the stove when the latter may be in use, air, and conduct such air'either into the apartment'in which the stove may be, or into another apartment situated over the rst, or into such other apartment, and one in rear of that, in which the stove may be. In this latter case theelbow would have a pipe applied to it,

Ato lead through and out of theescapc-lue, and to the I room to be heated. So, Awhen a room over that in which the stove maybe is to he heated, the pipe() is to be led upward, or continued to such room.'

Where there is no rear rorn .to heat, or when it may not be desirable to use) the Aelbow to Ieadheat'ed air from the pipe C, such elbow may bc capped wit-h a suitable bonnet or cover.

The holes d d, just below the elbow, are to take the place of a damper in the escape-line, which they render unnecessary, as from each a current of airwill iiow into the stove, and, by its proximity to the escape- Hue, will operate to prevent the escape of ame and gases, or check the draught nearly, if notl entirely, when theregister-valve or valves of the door may be closed.

Ve have found that, bythe employment of the said air-holes, arranged as explained, we notouly save the necessity of a damper, but cause the fuel of the stove to keep in slow combustion when the door, register, or valves may be closed.

Te claimv The arrangement and combination of one or more air-passages davith the air-duct C, andthe stove A,

its register valve -or valves, and escape-Hue c, the

wholebeing substantially as and to operateas hereinbefore explained.

Also, in connection therewith, the elbow, as arranged, and combined with the escape-due of the stove, and with the air-duct C, as explained.
